Worship Series: "Gathered Up in Jesus"

This Week's Theme: "An Opportune Time"
Liturgical Resources

This week, worship needs to be seen as a second beginning. Unless your congregation is unusual, many will not have come for Wednesday worship; therefore, this week is their entry into the season of Lent. Much of what was said about Ash Wednesday could be repeated here.
